SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a 

motor vehicle that was not originally 

manufactured to conform to all 

applicable FMVSS shall be refused 

admission into the United States unless 

NHTSA has decided, either pursuant to 

a petition from the manufacturer or 

registered importer or on its own 

initiative, (1) that the nonconforming 

motor vehicle is substantially similar to 

a motor vehicle of the same model year 

that was originally manufactured for 

importation into and sale in the United 

States and certified by its manufacturer 

as complying with all applicable 

FMVSS, and (2) that the nonconforming 

motor vehicle is capable of being readily 

altered to conform to all applicable 

FMVSS. Where there is no substantially 

similar U.S.-certified motor vehicle, 49 

U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B) permits a 

nonconforming motor vehicle to be 

admitted into the United States if 

NHTSA decides that its safety features 

comply with, or are capable of being 

altered to comply with, all applicable 

FMVSS based on destructive test data or 

such other evidence as NHTSA decides 

to be adequate. 

Most Recent Decision 

On September 27, 2007, NHTSA 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register announcing that it had made a 

final decision on its own initiative that 

certain motor vehicles that are certified 

by their original manufacturer as 

complying with all applicable CMVSS 

are eligible for importation into the 

United States (72 FR 54975). The notice 

identified these vehicles as: 

(a) All passenger cars manufactured 

on or after September 1, 2007, and 

before September 1, 2008, that, as 

originally manufactured, comply with 

FMVSS Nos. 110, 118, 138, 201, 208, 

213, 214, 225, and 401; 

(b) All passenger cars manufactured 

on or after September 1, 2008 and before 

September 1, 2011 that, as originally 

manufactured, comply with FMVSS 

Nos. 110, 118, 138, 201, 202a, 206, 208, 

213, 214, 225, and 401;
